The Software Ontology (SWO) has the scope of describing types of software used in Bioinformatics. The SWO covers areas such as the software type, the manufacturer of the software, the input and output data types and the uses (i.e. objectives) the software can be put to. The SWO intends to use BFO as an upper level ontolgoy and subclasses types from the Ontology of Biomedical Investigations. Contact James Malone for info: malone@ebi.ac.uk

The eagle-i project is building a searchable network of research resources at research institutions nationwide. We are developing an application ontology for indexing and querying, and this effort is being guided by discussions within the ontology community aimed at promoting interoperability. We will be inventorying laboratories, services, instruments, services, reagents, organisms, persons, protocols, human studies (metadata), tissue/biological sample repositories and training opportunities. The eagle-i application ontology is being used to drive our data tool and search applications, and is available in beta form from google code:http://code.google.com/p/eagle-i/

An open source ISA software suite and an extensible hierarchical data structure implemented by a growing number of international public resources. It caters to data as diverse as stem cell, toxicogenomics, environmental gene surveys, microbial diversity studies, and a variety of metabolomics and metagenomics-based studies. But it maintains cross-domain compatibility in the way the experimental context is described.

The NGSOnto ontology aims at capturing the workflow of all the processes involved , in order to ensure the reproducibility of the entire process, through the use of a controled and specific vocabulary.
